Marriage Amendment Law Causes Womans Murder

Alicia Sears is dead, murdered by her ex-boyfriend. Alicia was denied access to the normal domestic violence protections due to the Defence of Marriage law in Ohio where she lived.

We said this would happen. These marriage amendements, like the one enacted in South Dakota strip the domestic violence protection rights of non-married women who face abuse or death at the hands of boyfriends or those they live with. It can and will happen here.
